THE DEATH OF DADDY CAIN.-Bishop
Richard Harvey Cain, the fourteenth bish,,
Oh, of the African Methodist Episcopal
Church, died at his residence in Washing
ton City on the 18th instant. Bishop Cain,
before his ordination, had been associated

having been member of the Constitution
al Convention of this State and subsequent
Iy a member of the upper house of the Leg

gress. He was we'll known in this State in
reconstruction times as Daddy Cain, and

paired his influence and finally caused his
removal to distant part of the country.

PROSPECTIVE NEW OFFICEs.-In antici-
patton of the President signing the Inter
State commerce bill just passed by both
houses of Congress, there is great scram-
BILE for appointment on the commission OF
five provided for in the bill. At the White
House it is said that there are already on
file fifty applications, and as many more
names have been suggested to the President
directly and Indirectly. These positions are
more desirable than Congressional honors,
as the salary is 81 800 year and travelling
expenses.
South Carolina is not far behind the 9TH
er thirty-seven States in presenting names
eligible for these desirable positions, and
Gen M. S. Bonham, of Columbia, and Cen,
+. j. McCrady, of Charleston, are mention
ed among the numerous applicants. Geor-
gia furnishes the names of Ex-Governor j.
NJ. Smith, at present member of the State
railroad commission, and Congressman
Hammond. The President has not yet in
timated to any one, so far as is known,
what he proposes to do with this measure.

previous actions, leave no other conclusion but
that you was coward enough to commit just such
Il deed. Now, if you wish to save your neck,
you had better take all means to establish
every hour of your whereabouts from the 18th
to the evening of the 18th of January. / did not
want to think it was you that did the shooting.
or had it done, but that is the genera opinion Of
every one who speaks of it. 1t is certainly aw-
full to think of, and it would be wise in you to
dsprove it, if possible.
But it would be dangerous for you TO show
yourself in this community. How could you
ever expect Sallie to live with you again? How
could you expect her to risk her life with you
after the threats you have made, and it Il known
fact that you always carry a pistol, and after
being shot at by an assassin? Horrible, horrible
to think Of! What you wish to write to her for
I cannot see. You took her a mere child with
out my permission, and then to treat her as you
have done, you may know that it is a waste of
time on your part to write any more.

Mr.. Riles authorizes the statement i'm the OBJ
server that he is prepared to account for his
whereabouts on the night of the shooting.

MARRIAGE OF MIR. WITHERS ADICKES.

Mr.. Withers Adickes, popular young mer-
chant of Yorkville, has our heartiest congratu-
lations on emulating the recent example Of sew
eral other young gentlemen Of town by taking
partner for life. The happy event occurred in
Newberry, on Thursday last, and is thus re-
ported by the Newberry correspondent of the
Augusta Chronicle:
Mr.. Withers Adickes of Yorkville was married
o-day about II M. to Miss Helen NJ. Wardlaw, 4,
of this city, at the residence of Thomas S
Moorman, Esq. Mr.. Adickes arrived yesterday
accompanied by his mother and friends. The
ceremony was performed by the Rev J. Lowrie
Wilson, Of Abbeville. assisted by the Rev. X. D.
Smart, of Greenwood. The company consisted
of the immediate family and few special friends
Amongst the young people present were Miss
Clarke Cothran, of Abbevile; Miss s. A. Cald-
we'll, of Greenville, and Miss Mamie McCaugh-
rim, Miss Kate S. Rutherford and Miss Lucy W.
Baxter. of this place; Mr.. John A. Latta. Of

Messrs. John B. Jones, ]. w. Pelham, and O..
MGR. Holiness of this place. The windows were
darkened and as the bride, beautifully arrayed,
was led out under the brilliant chandeliers the
scene was at once impressive and enchanting.
The numerous costly presents bore abundant
testimony of the popularity of the bride, and
the affair was one of the most brilliant Of its
kind in our town for quite while After an
elaborate lunch the happy couple and party left
OH the 3 o'clock train for the Land of Flowers.
We wish them pleasant sOjourn amongst the
orange groves Of Florida, and long life of hap
piness in their future home at Yorkville.

HIS PUNISHMENT FITTED THE CRIME
Thomas j. Cluverius, who murdered his
cousin in Richmond, in 1885, has been hang
ed. We think Governor Lee deserves the
commendation of all justice-loving people.
Cluverus was lawyer, a church member,
and Sunday-school teacher, and belonged
to blooded stock. Hercuean efforts were
made to save him, but Governor Lee was
firm and the prisoner met his doom.
He was convicted on circumstantial evil
depce, while murderers in South Carolina
are bailed by our judges in small sum, and
after going through farce of trial the
juries generally acquit. If .Cluverius had
committed his crime in South Carolina he
would have been held to bail in $4,000, and
when put on trial he would doubtless have
been acquitted.
We believe that no such man as Cluverius
could be hanged under the forms of law in
South Carolina-no matter what his crime.
Without knowing what many people think,
we believe that three-fourths Of our people
doubt his guilt. Cluverius denies his guilt,
and that is enough.-AdberWe Press ond

APPROPRIATENESS FOR YORK.

Governor Richardson has appointed James X.
Kennedy Probate Judge Of York county, Vicc
J. B. Williams, deceased. Mr.. Kennedy was
chosen for appointment by a primary election
held on the 9th ultimo. He has made his Of
fetal bond, which will be submitted to the coun-
ty commissioners at a special meeting of the
board tomorrow, after which he will be duly
commissioned by the Governor.
The Governor has also appointed r. D. Nc
Knight Jury Commissioner for York county,
and S. NJ. Fewell, of Rock Hill, a Notary
Public.
On Saturday last he appointed the following
trial justices for the townships named, under the
recent Acts of the Legislature regulating the
trial justice system in York county, the ap-
pointees having been chosen by primary elec-
ton and thereupon recommended by the county
Democratic executive committee through the
York legislative delegation: York, James B.
Bell; Catawba, VIM. Whyte; Ebenezer, J. G.
Wilborn; Fort Mill, r. G. Culp Bethel, Perry
Ferguson; BulOck's Creek J. P. Blair, Bethes-
da, w. s. Adams; Kings Mountain, John A.
McMackin; Broad River, George G. Leech
The trial justice for Cherokee township has not
yet been appointed, the delay, we suppose, being
for the reason given in our issue of last week,
which briefly repeated is to the effect that there
is a misunderstanding as to who was elected for
the appointment. Mr.. A. B. Crosby, who failed
to sign the required pledge, received the largest
vote, but the chairman of the executive commit
tee received letter and also telegram, purport-
ing to be from Mr.. Crosby, peremptorily declin-
ing. The election was then decided by the COM
mittee in favor of Mr.. Crosby's competitor, MIR.
Camp After this action Mr.. Crosby repudiated
the letter and telegram. Consequently the mat
ter remains in statm quo. Mr.. Crosby publishes
a card in this paper, defining his position on
the question.
AS to the delay in making the appointment
of trial justices for York, the Columbia cor
respondent of the Ncps and Courier writes un-
der date of last Friday:
Governor Richardson is not responsible for the
present paralysis of justice in York county: If
there is any responsibility it rests with the dele
CATION from that county. The Governor intend
ed making the appointments of trial justices
for York some time ago, but was requested
by the delegation, through Senator Black, to
withhold the appointments until they could be
heard from, as they desired to make recon-
mendations. This was the last heard of the
delegation. The Governor to-day telegraphed
Senator Black that the appointments could be
Withheld no longer, and to telegraph anything the
delegation desired to say.

Cost of Food In 1886.

From tables prepared by The American
Grocer il appears that the wholesale cost
of staple articles Of food was, with one
or two exceptions. lower than in 1885.
Higher prices have ruled for some of the
luxuries, such as coffee and canned
goods, but as the advance was made
mostly during the last quarter of the
year, it has not, 10 any appreciable ex-
tent, influenced the cost Of living. Con-
sumers never before commanded a
greater variety of food, and Of such high
quality as in 1885.
Sugar has declined cent per pound;
rice, to IA cents; tea, to 3 cents;
butter has averaged 11-16 10 2 IA cents
per pound higher; cheese, ia cents
higher on medium and low grades: eggs,
1 Ia cents per dozen lower; pork, S1.50
per barrel lower lard IA cent per pound
lower. Flour has averaged s4.43 per
barrel Tor straight winter wheat, being
the lowest average price on record.
Wheat sold at an average of | TO Q cents
per bushel above the cost for two pre-
oeding years. Canned goods ranged from
10 to go per cent. higher for most sorts.

preparation of the article for this purpose
is described as quite simple; these rattle
snakes gals are put into an ordinary
wine bottle filed with spirits Of thirty
degrees, and allowed to stand thus for a
week. In ordinary cases one or two
tablespoonfuls are taken, and, in extreme
cases, three TO six. Il is thought that

by experiments with the gals Of other
